The third teaching in our "What We Teach" Series--Gospel. The Gospel is far more expansive than just the plan of salvation, but is rather the announcement of Good News that affects the entire cosmos.
Gospel – Romans 10.9
Jesus is Lord and Caesar is not! The early disciples of Jesus took this phrase from the Romans – a popular political slogan to declare Roman victory and subverted it for their own purposes. When one preaches the Gospel – we are making the bold and daring proposition that Jesus is Lord—ruler, has authority, is in charge –and Caesar—the economy, death, political parties, or any other power structure— is not in charge anymore. Jesus’ Kingdom of generosity, goodness, truth, beauty and love are actually running the universe—even though we might not always experience or observe it—and we put our confidence in that.
